A Reflection

His name is Robert F Noe
He was born in march of 1929
He is 76 years old
When he was 75 he was 5' 10" and weight about 165 LBS , His attire was always impeccable, he was a very dapper man,

I have no idea as to what happen
This man was a class act
He had style and was above all else, one of the most remarkable people I have ever known.
I saw Robert today, he is frail, his weight is about 105 pounds,
He is dyeing the cancer has eaten him alive. He can no longer get up from the hospital bed they have placed in his livingroom.
He has maybe days left
when I came in he said in a voice almost a wisper, Hi jake how are we doing , he still has a style he is clean and shaven.
he talked about the future of no future, he told me it will kill me soon but I refuse to die, like an old man, The hospic comes in every day I make sure they bathe me and shave me. I will be dam if I will die looking like a bum.
It will kill him but it will not beat him.

OJ..

I am not as sensitive as you are... but I know.. some wisdom from the past that says::

Show ?teach? me how to live——How to die?......I?ll find it ?by my self?.

Thank you for the kind words, I know I will miss this person, I know I will not have as full a life as I had when he was here, A life ends but the relationship goes on. As for sensitivety I would have to bet that there is more there than you let on.

We all have this ?special? someone in our lives, and I am lucky that I have/had several of those.

As long as we remember these ?specials? in our mind, they will be there when we need them.

OJ, your friend has my most heart-felt sympathies.

OJ, So sorry to hear about your friend Robert. Ill keep him in my prayers! Its not easy watching soemone you love in pain. I just lost my grandfather in Feb. to cancer it was not easy, it was the saddest situation I have ever seen. Just know that when he does leave us he will be in a much better place.

I just recived a phone call Robert F Noe died this morning around three o,clock. I check back in sometime in the future.

Sorry to hear that OJ!

OJ, I'm just now getting around to reading this, and I'm truly sorry to hear about your friend.

Robert was laied to rest yesterday at Jefferson Barrecks National Cementary. He was given full milltary honers. He was in the Navy at the end of WWII. I was wrong about a few things he was born June 3 1928. He would have been 77 next month. Last September he was told he had a year with treatment. No one knew this. Any 3way Thank all of you
